Summary

Antennas may represent the most underrated components in telecommunications. While the focus of stakeholders is rightfully on improving transmission and reception faculties of their devices, they are less focused on the components that make this happen. Antennas have a formidable collection of use cases. It is not a homogeneous market and is reflected in the multiplicity of application sectors, operating principles, materials used, and operating frequencies.

A few commonalities can be observed among drivers, through the following:

Quest for high Q-factor (measure of antenna efficiency)
Lesser form factor
Lower interference
Low power consumption
Adaptability to multiple frequency bands

This report tries to make sense of the exceptionally fragmented antenna market. Prima facie, it would not be wrong to assume that the antenna market should display a level of homogeneity found in the markets of other wireless communication components such as basebands, modems, and radio frequency (RF) front ends. Such an expectation is way off the mark. What dictates the dynamics of antenna markets is the end application. It is not uncommon to notice entire antenna supply chains built closely around the interest of end-application users, rather than being heavily focused on interactions with other value adders in the telecommunications domains.

For this reason, this report considers the end-application sector as the primary classification criterion. To render the maximum level of granularity to the study, the report has identified 10 end-application categories, which are further subdivided into antenna technologies, antenna materials, and geographical regions.

On the whole, this research forecasts that the future of antennas will continue to be driven by that of its end applications. However, commonalities as mentioned above will lead to the adoption of smarter technologies in antenna synthesis and operations. The market is thus likely to witness antennas that are lighter, smaller, power efficient and, most importantly, intelligent.

This study has the following goals and objectives:

Forecasting the market size for antennas in terms of dollar sales and shipment volumes
Providing insight into the prospects of antennas in various end-user segments
Examining the appeal, benefits, limitations, and prospects for diverse antenna technologies
Analyzing the limitations of conventional metal centric antenna design and exploring alternative materials such as ceramic as well as identifying the prospects for niche materials such as polytetrafluoroethelene (PTFE) and electrified gas
Highlighting the regional dynamics that influence the antenna market scenario
Highlight the roles played by major stakeholders and players
Provide an overview of the activities of influential companies
Examine crucial innovation breakthroughs through a detailed patent analysis

Antennas form the cradle of wireless communications. They are indispensable components of any wireless device. The explosion in standards and technology on wireless personal area network (WPAN), wireless local area network (WLAN), and wireless wide area network (WWAN) has exerted enormous pressure of antennas. Antennas are now confronted with the challenge of often simultaneously catering to multiple communication methodologies spanning frequency bands or waveform methodologies. Clearly, the antenna is undergoing a metamorphosis in technology terms, making it important to translate the impact of this upheaval on the market size of antennas. It is important to chronicle these changes and highlight the competitive advantages of various technologies and materials in their quest to respond to these changes. More importantly, it is imperative to map the quantitative impact of individual technologies and materials on individual end-application sectors, with a regional outlook. Market research on the subject on antennas has been mostly end-application sector specific or individual technology specific, leading to a compelling requirement for presenting a consolidated, single view of the vastly diverse market, which is what this study seeks to achieve.

The report presents the forecasts for antenna technologies and material markets for the years 2009 to 2014 on a volume and value basis. The study is an analysis of antenna applications in different sectors, their benefits, their limitations, and their prospects in qualitative and quantitative terms.

The Summary presents a snapshot of the volume and value size of antennas.

The section on the overview of antenna technologies, materials, and markets introduces the antenna with key concepts central to understanding its functioning. It then analyzes the different classification criteria: technologies (flat panel/medium range directive antennas, miniature without fractal, miniature fractal, medium gain directional antenna, high gain reflector, and smart antennas), materials (metal, ceramic, PTFE, and electrified gas) and geographical regions (Americas, Europe Middle East Africa [EMEA], and Asia Pacific [APAC]). In conclusion, it provides a snapshot of the end-user application sector classification.

The section on sector-specific analysis breaks down the antenna market for each of the sectors (aviation, telematics, TV/radio infrastructure and user equipment, satellite communication infrastructure, mobile phones, wireless telecommunications infrastructure, computing applications, medical applications, defense and surveillance applications and residential/industrial/commercial premises and user devices) along antenna technologies, antenna materials, and geographical regions. The section will thus provide the reader with an in-depth view of the dynamics of individual sectors vis-à-vis antenna prospects.

The section on stakeholder analysis and market overview identifies stakeholder groups, explains their value additions and business models, and lists the challenges facing each of these groups in addition to discussing the buyer supply interplay, role of regulation, and cyclicality in context of antennas. The section then mentions the activities of influential stakeholders. The section on patents analyzes innovative activities that affect the core of the antenna systems. Fittingly, patents are classified based on the end-user applications supported by them. They are also broken down based on timing, assignee countries, and assignee organizations

This study provides a granular analysis of the market for antenna technologies, materials, and end-application sectors:

It identifies the major technologies and materials that play a role in antenna synthesis.
It defines major end-application categories for antenna systems.
It breaks down the dollar value and shipment volume antenna market along end-application sectors.
Each end-application sector is further broken down along antenna technology, antenna material, and geographical region.

The report will add value to the following industry players:

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and contract manufacturers of antenna systems and components in identifying the size and regional distribution of the antenna market
OEMs of products that embed antennas in understanding the technology and material pricing trends for antennas in their sector
Service providers and network designers in knowing the prospects of specific antennas in their domain.

This Report Highlights:

Provide data on the global antenna market for 2007 and 2008, and forecast the market and its compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2009 through 2014
Break down the various application markets, which have their own sets of drivers and challenges; the markets will include aviation, satellites, mobile phones, medical applications, consumer electronics, and others
Focus on innovation initiatives by presenting an analysis of the patents granted for antenna technology development activities
Explain the operating principles employed in antennas, and classify them based on those operating principles in addition to operating frequencies and materials used.
